Product Description
If you like Julia Talbot, this is the book for you! Bound in one volume are four historical tales. Gentleman of Substance, Post Obsession, and two shorter stories, Remembering Pleasure and Thrust and Riposte. In Gentleman of Substance, colonial America has never been hotter than when gentrified Michael meets country bumpkin Daniel and sparks fly. The two are irresistibly drawn to one another, but will their love ruin their lives? Post Obsession gives us Markus, a bored aristocrat who begins to receive some very steamy letters from an admirer. Will the intrigue and interest continue when he meets his mysterious writer in person? Remembering Pleasure sees Alistair forgetting what a man's touch feels like as he does his duty to wife and title. He begins to remember the pleasure of it all when his best friend, Griff, sends him a very special stable hand to help him out. And in Thrust and Riposte, swordsman Rene Godard finds ways to challenge his young pupil's tutor Owen Tregarth, at every turn. Whether fencing with swords or words, these two duel happily, but can they survive the trouble that comes with kidnapping and strife? Read the best of Julia Talbot in Historical Obsession today!

 4 Good Stories January 28, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This was a nice collection of four tales. Though I don't normally care for short stories, these were very good. There was enough background on characters to make them interesting, while keeping to the format, and the sex was hot. These were romantic in nature--without being sappy.
All the stories were good, but Post Obsession stood out as the best. Markus is worried by the letters, thinking his unusual tastes have been revealed and blackmail is not far behind. However, he becomes infatuated with his admirer--and sparks fly when they meet; but they have more obstacles to overcome than being the same gender.
I highly recommend this, particularly for historical fiction fans.

I enjoyed the four stories in this book; they were all entertaining, though some were better than others. I thought the characters and the tension between them (and the sex that resulted) were better in "Gentleman of Substance" and "Post Obsession." The other two were fine, but not as compelling in either plotline or characters. The sex was quite good, especially in "Post Obsession." Not great literature but can be a fun read.
